I just posted an omega-3 comment on your other discussion topic tonight, Jim, because I found a lot of encouragement in the NIH research report you posted there. You mention "conflicts" in study results on omega-3 fats' effects in heart disease. My sense is a little different -- not so much conflict as chaos! The studies seem to run off in many directions, rather than collide head-on. Not sure the difference is salient, but it has me thinking. In my a-fib-driven congestive heart failure, the only symptoms have been a loping pulse and an occasional swelling of one foot from edema. I'm a devoted manager of my fat intakes, with omega-3 as my favorite. Your NIH study report gave me a sense of serendipity in discovering that omega-3 may be why my CHF is making no inroads!
